“A politician will always tip off his true belief by stating the opposite at the beginning of the sentence. For maximum comprehension, do not start listening until the first clause is concluded. Begin instead at the word 'BUT' which begins the second, or active, clause. This is the way to tell a liberal from a conservative - before they tell you. Thus: 'I have always believed in a strong national defense, second to none, but...(a liberal, about to propose a $20 billion defense cut).” WayFirstsPoliticsBeliefStrongCuttingListeningPoliticianOppositesConservativeActiveSentencesDefenseBillionsMaximumAlways BelieveProposeComprehensionClausesNational Defense Author:Frank Mankiewicz
“The Stones were always exemplary of one of the best of all rock qualities: tightness. They have always been economical, the opposite of ornamental.

“With a congressional mandate to run the deficit up as high as need be, there is no reason to raise taxes now and risk aggravating the depression. Instead, Obama will follow the opposite of the Reagan strategy. Reagan cut taxes and increased the deficit so that liberals could not increase spending. Obama will raise spending and increase the deficit so that conservatives cannot cut taxes. And, when the economy is restored, he will raise taxes with impunity, since the only people who will have to pay them would be rich Republicans.” PeopleNeedsReasonWould BeRunningPayEconomyRichCuttingRiskRepublicanTaxesOppositesIncreaseRaisesStrategySpendingNo ReasonDeficitMandatesImpunityAggravating Author:Dick Morris

“When I go to the cinema, I want to have a cinematic experience. Some people ignore the sound and you end up seeing something you might see on television and it doesn't explore the form. Sound is the other picture. When you show people a rough cut without the sound mix they are often really surprised. Sound creates a completely new world. With dialogue, people say a lot of things they don't mean. I like dialogue when it's used in a way when the body language says the complete opposite. But I love great dialogue I think expositional dialogue is quite crass and not like real life.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayWantMeanRealEndsShowsBodyMightFormUsedLanguageSoundCuttingSeeingTelevisionOppositesReal LifeDialogueCinemaRoughNew WorldBody LanguageCinematicCrassComplete Opposites Author:Lynne Ramsay
